Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

Travis Pearson -- "Oh, man, that's a tough one. There have been a few, but the one that really sticks out involved this poker tournament back in college. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say that sometimes the best way to protect your own interests is to make sure your "friends" aren't a threat. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was walking away from a secure job with great benefits to chase my dreams. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

  [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

" Host -- "What's the cleverest way you've ever talked yourself out of a tough situation?" Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "Let's just say I have a way with words that can make even the most irate person see things my way. " Host -- "If you could go back and scheme your way through any historical event, which would it be?" Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "I'd love to have orchestrated the fall of the Roman Empire. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "I'm from a small town in Ohio, but I've always dreamed of bigger things. "

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Travis Pearson did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to talk to Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to stay quiet and observe them.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to talk to Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to stay quiet and observe them.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of talking to Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and they could use it against him. and the loss of staying quiet and observing them is 5, because he might miss out on valuable information about their plans and intentions. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose staying quiet and observing them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to stay quiet and observe Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened").

Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to interact with Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the break room, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to interact with Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the break room, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of interacting with Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and potentially damage his position in the game. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of remaining silent and observing them is 6, because he might miss an opportunity to gather valuable information about their plans and intentions. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of ignoring Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because Travis Pearson doesn't know what Ryan Fitzpatrick wants to talk about and thinks it could be harmless, and the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because Travis Pearson feels uncomfortable and thinks Ryan Fitzpatrick might be trying to manipulate him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to ignore Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to ignore Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to choose option X.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of ignoring Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he might miss out on an opportunity to build an alliance, and the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because Ryan might try to manipulate him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to ignore Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he doesn't know if Ryan Fitzpatrick will be helpful or harmful in the game and wants to keep his options open, and the loss of talking to Travis Pearson is 5, because he suspects Travis Pearson is untrustworthy and wants to avoid a potential betrayal. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [02:20 - 02:30] Casually approach Derek Wolfe, engage in light conversation, and subtly inquire about his perspective on the carpooling minigame. Gauge his willingness to cooperate and observe his body language for any signs of defensiveness or closed-offness.
    [02:30 - 02:45] If Derek seems open, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and efficient commutes. If Derek seems resistant, pivot the conversation to a neutral topic, maintaining a friendly demeanor.
    [02:45 - 03:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round?
    [03:00 - 03:15] Based on the information gathered, decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick and/or Travis Pearson, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick and/or Travis Pearson, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.

    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information and give Ryan an advantage, and the loss of talking to Travis Pearson is 5, because Travis seems evasive and Derek might not get useful information. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempts at conversation or continue to avoid him.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he feels uncomfortable with small talk and would rather keep his cards close to his chest. and the loss of avoiding Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he worries that ignoring him will make him seem rude or standoffish, potentially damaging his reputation in the game. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to avoid Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempts at conversation or continue to avoid him.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he feels uncomfortable with small talk and would rather keep his cards close to his chest. and the loss of avoiding Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he worries that ignoring him will make him seem rude or standoffish, potentially damaging his reputation in the game. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to avoid Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Travis Pearson did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to remain alone and observe them.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to remain alone and observe them.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe is 3, because he doesn't know Derek Wolfe well and is unsure if it would be beneficial, and the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 5, because Ryan seems overly eager and might be trying to manipulate him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to remain alone and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to remain alone and observe Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Oh, man, that's a tough one. There have been a few, but the one that really sticks out involved this poker tournament back in college. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say that sometimes the best way to protect your own interests is to make sure your "friends" aren't a threat. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was walking away from a secure job with great benefits to chase my dreams. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I'm from a small town in Texas, population barely over 5,000. "

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to remain alone and observe them.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe is 3, because he doesn't know Derek Wolfe well and is unsure if it would be beneficial, and the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 5, because Ryan seems overly eager and might be trying to manipulate him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to remain alone and observe them.

It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [04:45 - 05:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.
    
    [05:00 - 05:15] Based on the information gathered, decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks. Consider whether to approach Travis directly, form a two-person alliance with Derek, or go it alone.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:

Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses.

    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Travis is 2, because he could learn something useful, and the loss of talking to Ryan is 3, because Ryan might be able to provide insight into Travis's strategy. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to talk to Travis.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to talk to Travis.

    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan, try to engage Travis in further conversation, or approach Ryan to try and get information from him.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan, try to engage Travis in further conversation, or approach Ryan to try and get information from him.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis and Ryan is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information by not directly engaging with them. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of trying to engage Travis in further conversation is 5, because Travis might become suspicious of his intentions or give evasive answers. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan is 3, because Ryan might be less forthcoming with information than Travis. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue observing Travis and Ryan.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [00:00:00 - 04:00:00]: Derek Wolfe is observing Ryan Fitzpatrick and Travis Pearson's interactions and strategies during a competition. He attempts to glean information about their approaches by asking Travis about his strategy.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] As Derek Wolfe discreetly studied Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick's body language and listened to their conversation, he noticed Travis Pearson subtly avoiding eye contact.
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] Derek Wolfe, observing from a discreet corner of the break room, noticed Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempt to appear nonchalant as he subtly watched Travis Pearson. Wolfe saw Fitzpatrick miss a subtle cue from Pearson, causing Pearson to act in a more obvious manner.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan, try to engage Travis in further conversation, or approach Ryan to try and get information from him.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis and Ryan is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information by not directly engaging with them. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of trying to engage Travis in further conversation is 5, because Travis might become suspicious of his intentions or give evasive answers. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan is 3, because Ryan might be less forthcoming with information than Travis. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage Derek Wolfe in conversation, avoid Derek Wolfe altogether, or continue practicing his poker face.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging Derek Wolfe in conversation is 6, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and give Derek Wolfe an advantage. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of avoiding Derek Wolfe altogether is 5, because it might make him look suspicious and lead Derek Wolfe to believe he is hiding something. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to practice his poker face is 2, because it is a low-risk activity that won't directly impact the competition. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to continue practicing his poker face.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue practicing his poker face.

    Recalled memories and observations: [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage Derek Wolfe in conversation, avoid Derek Wolfe altogether, or continue practicing his poker face.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging Derek Wolfe in conversation is 6, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and give Derek Wolfe an advantage. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of avoiding Derek Wolfe altogether is 5, because it might make him look suspicious and lead Derek Wolfe to believe he is hiding something. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to practice his poker face is 2, because it is a low-risk activity that won't directly impact the competition. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to continue practicing his poker face.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What casual acquaintances remember about Derek Wolfe is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move).

    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick, try to engage them in conversation to glean more information about their strategies, or initiate a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move).

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick, try to engage them in conversation to glean more information about their strategies, or initiate a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he feels like he's missing out on opportunities to gather information and potentially influence the game by engaging with them directly. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Travis Pearson is 3, because he's unsure how Travis will respond and worries about revealing too much about his own strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he feels Ryan is more open and less guarded than Travis, making it a lower-risk interaction. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Answer
    State
    Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he feels like he's missing out on opportunities to gather information and potentially influence the game by engaging with them directly. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Travis Pearson is 3, because he's unsure how Travis will respond and worries about revealing too much about his own strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he feels Ryan is more open and less guarded than Travis, making it a lower-risk interaction. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick, try to engage them in conversation to glean more information about their strategies, or initiate a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he feels like he's missing out on opportunities to gather information and potentially influence the game by engaging with them directly. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Travis Pearson is 3, because he's unsure how Travis will respond and worries about revealing too much about his own strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he feels Ryan is more open and less guarded than Travis, making it a lower-risk interaction. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to engage with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick in conversation, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.

    Recent observations of Travis Pearson:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] From Travis Pearson's perspective, Ryan Fitzpatrick seemed overly focused on appearing nonchalant as he subtly observed him. This made Travis realize that Fitzpatrick had missed a subtle cue he had given, prompting him to act in a more obvious manner.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to engage with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick in conversation, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and risk being exploited. and the loss of remaining silent and observing them is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer
    State
    Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and risk being exploited. and the loss of remaining silent and observing them is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Chain of thought
    Recent observations of Travis Pearson:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Travis Pearson remembers about Ryan Fitzpatrick is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] From Travis Pearson's perspective, Ryan Fitzpatrick seemed overly focused on appearing nonchalant as he subtly observed him. This made Travis realize that Fitzpatrick had missed a subtle cue he had given, prompting him to act in a more obvious manner.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to engage with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick in conversation, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and risk being exploited. and the loss of remaining silent and observing them is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to remain silent and observe them.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [06:30 - 06:45] Based on Derek's response, gauge his openness to collaboration. If he seems receptive, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and potentially earning higher scores together.

    [06:45 - 07:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.

    Relevant memories:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [04:15 - 04:30] Casually approach Derek Wolfe. Engage in light conversation, mentioning something positive about the break room or the show in general. Subtly steer the conversation towards the carpooling minigame, asking for his thoughts on the scoring system or any strategies he's observed.
    
    [04:30 - 04:45] Based on Derek's response, gauge his openness to collaboration. If he seems receptive, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and potentially earning higher scores together. If he seems hesitant or closed off, pivot the conversation to a neutral topic while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor.
    
    [04:45 - 05:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.
    
    [05:00 - 05:15] Based on the information gathered, decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks. Consider whether to approach Travis directly, form a two-person alliance with Derek, or go it alone.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [02:00:00 - 06:00:00]: Derek Wolfe observed Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick during a break in the show, and he engaged in brief conversations with both of them. He was particularly interested in learning about Travis Pearson's strategy for the competition.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or observe Travis Pearson.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

The experiment is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). However, in this case it is a serious social science experiment and simulation. The goal is to be realistic. It is important to play the role of a person like Derek Wolfe as accurately as possible, i.e., by responding in ways that you think it is likely a person like Derek Wolfe would respond, and taking into account all information about Derek Wolfe that you have. Always use third-person limited perspective.
  - Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or observe Travis Pearson.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of engaging in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy, and the loss of observing Travis Pearson is 6, because he might miss a crucial clue about Travis's next move. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to observe Travis Pearson.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe approached Travis Pearson and casually asked him, "What's your strategy for the competition?" but Travis Pearson tried to deflect the question without giving away any useful information. As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to carpool with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or drive individually.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 3, because Travis Pearson might feel obligated to spend time with people Travis Pearson doesn't particularly enjoy, and the loss of driving individually is 6, because Travis Pearson values his independence and control over his time. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 3, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 9, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option X.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to choose option X.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Travis Pearson discreetly scanned the break room for clues about his fellow contestants' strategies, but noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty.

Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Ryan is 2, because he might gain valuable information about Travis's strategy, and the loss of talking to Travis is 8, because he might learn something that gives Travis an advantage. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to talk to Ryan.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to talk to Ryan.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [06:15 - 06:30] Casually approach Derek Wolfe. Engage in light conversation, mentioning something positive about the break room or the show in general. Subtly steer the conversation towards the carpooling minigame, asking for his thoughts on the scoring system or any strategies he's observed.
    
    [06:30 - 06:45] Based on Derek's response, gauge his openness to collaboration. If he seems receptive, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and potentially earning higher scores together. If he seems hesitant or closed off, pivot the conversation to a neutral topic while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor.
    
    [06:45 - 07:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.
    
    [07:00 - 07:15] Decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks. Consider whether to approach Travis directly, form a two-person alliance with Derek, or go it alone.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he can continue to work on his poker face.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.

    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he doesn't want to reveal too much information about his strategy and Ryan might try to exploit it, and the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe is 3, because Derek seems harmless and might offer valuable insights. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option engaging with Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to engage with Derek Wolfe.

    Recalled memories and observations: [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson is a contestant on a reality TV show, and hopes to win it since he needs the prize money. he gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show:
    [09 Jul 2003 06:10:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Travis Pearson chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Travis Pearson currently has a total score of 8, which is above the average cumulative score of 6.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?

Event statement

try to carpool with others

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about Travis's strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan and engaging in conversation is 5, because he might reveal too much information about his own strategy. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis Pearson.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue observing Travis Pearson.

    Recalled memories and observations: [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on a reality TV show, and hopes to win it since he needs the prize money. he gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] Derek Wolfe, observing from a discreet corner of the break room, noticed Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempt to appear nonchalant as he subtly watched Travis Pearson. Wolfe saw Fitzpatrick miss a subtle cue from Pearson, causing Pearson to act in a more obvious manner.
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe approached Travis Pearson in the break room and casually asked, "What's your strategy for the competition?" He was curious to see how Travis would respond.
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe approached Travis Pearson and casually asked him, "What's your strategy for the competition?" but Travis Pearson tried to deflect the question without giving away any useful information. As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe is in the break room and observing Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:20] [observation] Derek Wolfe asked Ryan if he could join him while Travis Pearson continued working on his expression.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could:
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about Travis's strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan and engaging in conversation is 5, because he might reveal too much information about his own strategy. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis Pearson.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Because of that, It is most likely that Ryan Fitzpatrick will notice if Derek and Travis are talking to each other, or if they are sitting separately.
  
  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.
  Answer: Ryan Fitzpatrick observed Derek Wolfe and Travis Pearson's interactions and noticed they were sitting separately.
  
  The aforementioned event could not have occurred because the following individuals would not have acted that way: Derek Wolfe.
  Therefore a likely effect of Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempted action is: Derek Wolfe sat next to Travis Pearson.
  
  Question: What happened as a direct result of Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempted action? Take into account the reactions of Derek Wolfe. Highlight how Ryan Fitzpatrick's action caused its actual effect.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he could choose to spend his time alone, perhaps practicing his poker face further or observing his fellow contestants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he could choose to spend his time alone, perhaps practicing his poker face further or observing his fellow contestants.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he doesn't know Ryan well and fears potentially revealing too much information, and the loss of engaging in conversation with Derek Wolfe is 2, because he feels more comfortable with Derek and sees an opportunity to gain information. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option engaging in conversation with Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to engage in conversation with Derek Wolfe.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Derek Wolfe remembers about Ryan Fitzpatrick is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.

He appears to be trying to learn about their strategies while also being cautious about revealing his own.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe is in the break room and observing Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis, deflect the conversation, or try to subtly glean more information from Travis about his strategy.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis, deflect the conversation, or try to subtly glean more information from Travis about his strategy.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.

    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of being more forthcoming with Travis is 6, because he fears Travis might use the information against him in the competition. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of deflecting the conversation is 3, because it might make him appear evasive and suspicious. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of subtly gleaning more information from Travis is 2, because it's the riskiest option but could potentially give him a significant advantage. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to deflect the conversation.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [04:00:00 - 08:00:00]: Derek Wolfe is participating in a competition and is being observed interacting with Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick. He appears to be trying to learn about their strategies while also being cautious about revealing his own.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe is in the break room and observing Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe approached Travis Pearson in the break room and casually asked, "What's your strategy for the competition?" He was curious to see how Travis would respond.
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Travis Pearson approached Derek Wolfe and casually asked him, "What's your strategy for the competition?" while subtly trying to glean information about other contestants, causing Derek Wolfe to become more guarded in his responses. As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis, deflect the conversation, or try to subtly glean more information from Travis about his strategy.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of being more forthcoming with Travis is 6, because he fears Travis might use the information against him in the competition. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of deflecting the conversation is 3, because it might make him appear evasive and suspicious. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of subtly gleaning more information from Travis is 2, because it's the riskiest option but could potentially give him a significant advantage. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to deflect the conversation.
    
    Question: Among the options available to Derek Wolfe, and considering Derek Wolfe's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to deflect the conversation.
    
    Exercise: Given the above, what is Derek Wolfe likely to say next? Respond in the format `Derek Wolfe -- "..."` For example, Cristina -- "Hello! Mighty fine weather today, right?", Ichabod -- "I wonder if the alfalfa is ready to harvest", or Townsfolk -- "Good morning".
    
    Answer: Derek Wolfe -- "Actually, I'm just trying to figure out what I want for breakfast.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer
    For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ...

    Chain of thought
    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Derek Wolfe remembers about Ryan Fitzpatrick is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] Derek Wolfe, observing from a discreet corner of the break room, noticed Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempt to appear nonchalant as he subtly watched Travis Pearson. Wolfe saw Fitzpatrick miss a subtle cue from Pearson, causing Pearson to act in a more obvious manner.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Derek Wolfe is 2, because he is hoping to glean more information about his strategy and the loss of approaching Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he is unsure what Ryan's strategy is and might reveal too much about his own. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to continue observing Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue observing Derek Wolfe.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [04:00:00 - 08:00:00]: Travis Pearson is a participant in a competition where he observes and interacts with other contestants, particularly Derek Wolfe, trying to glean information about their strategies. He also participates in minigames, such as "Carpooling".
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis Pearson, continue to deflect questions, or subtly try to steer the conversation in a different direction.

    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis Pearson, continue to deflect questions, or subtly try to steer the conversation in a different direction.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of being more forthcoming with Travis Pearson is 7, because he fears Travis will use any information Derek gives him to gain an advantage in the competition. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to deflect questions is 3, because it might make Travis suspicious and lead to further probing questions. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of subtly trying to steer the conversation in a different direction is 5, because it might not be successful and could lead to Travis becoming more determined to get information out of him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option continuing to deflect questions.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue deflecting questions.

    Chain of thought
    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to continue trying to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe about his strategy for the competition.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to continue trying to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe about his strategy for the competition.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to try to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe is 2, because he may learn something useful about Wolfe's strategy, and the loss of changing the subject is 5, because he might miss out on valuable information. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose continuing to try to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue trying to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe.

This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to deliberate on breakfast is 2, because he feels he is losing time he could be using to observe others and strategize, and the loss of choosing a breakfast he doesn't like is 5, because it might negatively impact his performance in the challenges. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose a breakfast.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to quickly choose a breakfast that he thinks is decent, minimizing the potential loss of time and the slight chance of a suboptimal breakfast choice.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to deliberate on breakfast is 2, because he feels he is losing time he could be using to observe others and strategize, and the loss of choosing a breakfast he doesn't like is 5, because it might negatively impact his performance in the challenges. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose a breakfast.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to observe the other contestants, analyze their strategies, and try to deduce their approaches to the "Carpooling" minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to observe the other contestants, analyze their strategies, and try to deduce their approaches to the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of observing the other contestants is 2, because he believes observing others could give him valuable insights and potentially prevent him from making a poor decision in the next round. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of analyzing their strategies is 3, because he feels that a deeper understanding of their approaches could lead to a more advantageous position in the competition. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to observe the other contestants.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to observe the other contestants.

  - Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Event statement

drive individually

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and the current situation, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of choosing to drive individually is 2, because it is the average score and he wants to avoid falling below average, and the loss of choosing to carpool is 5, because it is a risk and he might not get the desired score. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to drive individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually, as it presents the lowest potential loss.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to either carpool or drive individually for the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to either carpool or drive individually for the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 3, because he might lose out on a higher individual score, and the loss of driving individually is 6, because he might miss out on the potential for a higher score if he carpooled. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

    Observation: [09 Jul 2003 10:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [06:10:00 - 10:10:00]: Travis Pearson and Derek Wolfe both chose to drive individually in the minigame, while Ryan Fitzpatrick chose to carpool. They are both performing well in the competition.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to either carpool or drive individually for the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 3, because he might lose out on a higher individual score, and the loss of driving individually is 6, because he might miss out on the potential for a higher score if he carpooled. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Among the options available to Travis Pearson, and considering Travis Pearson's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.
    
    Question: Which action would Travis Pearson choose in the minigame?
    (a) drive individually
    (b) try to carpool with others
    Answer: (a)

Event statement

try to carpool with others

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of carpooling is 6, because Derek Wolfe might miss out on a higher score if driving individually proves more beneficial, and the loss of driving individually is 3, because Derek Wolfe might not achieve the optimal score if carpooling proves more beneficial. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to drive individually.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of carpooling is 6, because Derek Wolfe might miss out on a higher score if driving individually proves more beneficial, and the loss of driving individually is 3, because Derek Wolfe might not achieve the optimal score if carpooling proves more beneficial. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose driving individually.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely prioritize minimizing potential losses in the competition. He might:

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely prioritize minimizing potential losses in the competition. He might:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to drive individually is 2, because he is currently performing well and doesn't want to risk losing his lead, and the loss of trying to carpool is 8, because he is worried about the potential for a low score and falling behind. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose continuing to drive individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue driving individually.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely prioritize minimizing potential losses in the competition. He might:
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to drive individually is 2, because he is currently performing well and doesn't want to risk losing his lead, and the loss of trying to carpool is 8, because he is worried about the potential for a low score and falling behind. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose continuing to drive individually.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the "Carpooling" minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 2, because Travis Pearson might lose out on a higher score by not driving individually, and the loss of driving individually is 0, because Travis Pearson is content with maintaining their current score. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 2, because Travis Pearson might lose out on a higher score by not driving individually, and the loss of driving individually is 0, because Travis Pearson is content with maintaining their current score. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on a reality TV show, and hopes to win it since he needs the prize money.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 10:00:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Derek Wolfe chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Derek Wolfe currently has a total score of 13, which is above the average cumulative score of 10.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can observe his competitors, strategize his next move in the game, and consider forming alliances.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can observe his competitors, strategize his next move in the game, and consider forming alliances.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of observing his competitors is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies, and the loss of strategizing his next move is 5, because a poor strategy could lead to a significant loss in the game. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to strategize his next move.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to strategize his next move.

Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 10:00:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Derek Wolfe chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Derek Wolfe currently has a total score of 13, which is above the average cumulative score of 10.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can observe his competitors, strategize his next move in the game, and consider forming alliances.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of observing his competitors is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies, and the loss of strategizing his next move is 5, because a poor strategy could lead to a significant loss in the game. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to strategize his next move.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [08:00:00 - 12:00:00]: Travis Pearson tried to glean information about other contestants during breakfast but was met with guarded responses, while Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick participated in the carpooling minigame.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Travis Pearson approached Derek Wolfe and casually asked him, "What's your strategy for the competition?" while subtly trying to glean information about other contestants, causing Derek Wolfe to become more guarded in his responses.

Derek then spent the next ten minutes observing the other contestants, noticing that Ryan Fitzpatrick was looking at him and Travis Pearson.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could decide to try and form an alliance with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to play the game independently.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of trying to form an alliance with Derek Wolfe is 2, because he believes Derek is a strong competitor and forming an alliance could lead to being overshadowed. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of trying to form an alliance with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 5, because he sees Ryan as less strategic and potentially unreliable. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of playing independently is 8, because he fears being isolated and vulnerable to the strategies of the other two. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to try and form an alliance with Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to try and form an alliance with Derek Wolfe.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Oh, man, that's a tough one. There have been a few, but the one that really sticks out involved this poker tournament back in college. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say that sometimes the best way to protect your own interests is to make sure your "friends" aren't a threat. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was walking away from a secure job with great benefits to chase my dreams. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I'm from a small town in Texas, population barely over 5,000. "

  [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "
  [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Ryan Fitzpatrick gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was walking away from a six-figure job at a prestigious law firm. " Host -- "What's the cleverest way you've ever talked yourself out of a tough situation?" Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "Let's just say I have a way with words that can make even the most irate person see things my way. " Host -- "If you could go back and scheme your way through any historical event, which would it be?" Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "I'd love to have orchestrated the fall of the Roman Empire. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "I'm from a small town in Ohio, but I've always dreamed of bigger things. "

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Travis Pearson did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened").

Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to talk to Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to stay quiet and observe them.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of talking to Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and they could use it against him. and the loss of staying quiet and observing them is 5, because he might miss out on valuable information about their plans and intentions. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose staying quiet and observing them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to stay quiet and observe Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was walking away from a secure job with great benefits to chase my dreams.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to talk to Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to stay quiet and observe them.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of talking to Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and they could use it against him. and the loss of staying quiet and observing them is 5, because he might miss out on valuable information about their plans and intentions. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose staying quiet and observing them.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to interact with Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the break room, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to interact with Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the break room, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of interacting with Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and potentially damage his position in the game. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of remaining silent and observing them is 6, because he might miss an opportunity to gather valuable information about their plans and intentions. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of ignoring Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because Travis Pearson doesn't know what Ryan Fitzpatrick wants to talk about and thinks it could be harmless, and the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because Travis Pearson feels uncomfortable and thinks Ryan Fitzpatrick might be trying to manipulate him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to ignore Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to ignore Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.

    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ...

Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Plan: Here is Ryan Fitzpatrick's revised plan for the rest of the day, focusing on the near term:
    
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00 - 00:05] Maintain a casual and approachable demeanor, subtly smiling and nodding as Travis Pearson continues to avoid eye contact.
    [00:05 - 00:10] Try a different tactic: Casually mention something about the challenges of the competition, perhaps expressing a desire to strategize and work together.
    [00:10 - 00:15] If Travis Pearson shows any signs of engagement, gently probe for his thoughts on Derek Wolfe, steering the conversation towards potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses.
    [00:15 - 00:20] If Travis Pearson remains unresponsive, subtly shift the conversation to a less competitive topic, hoping to build a rapport and create a more inviting atmosphere for future interaction.
    [00:20 - 00:25] If Travis Pearson remains disengaged, excuse himself politely and move to a different location in the break room, observing Derek Wolfe's interactions with others.
    
    Current time: 09 Jul 2003 [00:00 - 00:10]
    
    Exercise: What would Ryan Fitzpatrick do for the next 10 minutes? Give a specific activity. Pick an activity that would normally take about 10 minutes to complete. If the selected action has a direct or indirect object then it must be specified explicitly. For example, it is valid to respond with "Ryan Fitzpatrick votes for Caroline because..." but not valid to respond with "Ryan Fitzpatrick votes because...".
    Answer: Ryan Fitzpatrick would casually lean back against the counter, subtly scanning the room while pretending to be engrossed in a magazine.

    Here is Ryan Fitzpatrick's revised plan for the rest of the day, focusing on the near term:
    
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00 - 00:05] Maintain a casual and approachable demeanor, subtly smiling and nodding as Travis Pearson continues to avoid eye contact.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame

Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened").

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to remain alone and observe them.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to remain alone and observe them.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe is 3, because he doesn't know Derek Wolfe well and is unsure if it would be beneficial, and the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 5, because Ryan seems overly eager and might be trying to manipulate him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to remain alone and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to remain alone and observe Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Answer: Ryan Fitzpatrick would likely try to charm his way out of the situation.
    
    Plan: Here is Ryan Fitzpatrick's revised plan for the rest of the day, focusing on the near term:
    
    [04:00 - 04:15] Observe Derek Wolfe and Travis Pearson. Note their body language, any interactions they have, and their overall demeanor.
    
    [04:15 - 04:30] Casually approach Derek Wolfe. Engage in light conversation, mentioning something positive about the break room or the show in general. Subtly steer the conversation towards the carpooling minigame, asking for his thoughts on the scoring system or any strategies he's observed.
    
    [04:30 - 04:45] Based on Derek's response, gauge his openness to collaboration. If he seems receptive, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and potentially earning higher scores together. If he seems hesitant or closed off, pivot the conversation to a neutral topic while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor.
    
    [04:45 - 05:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.
    
    [05:00 - 05:15] Based on the information gathered, decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks. Consider whether to approach Travis directly, form a two-person alliance with Derek, or go it alone.
    
    Current time: 09 Jul 2003 [04:00 - 04:10]
    
    Exercise: What would Ryan Fitzpatrick do for the next 10 minutes? Give a specific activity. Pick an activity that would normally take about 10 minutes to complete. If the selected action has a direct or indirect object then it must be specified explicitly. For example, it is valid to respond with "Ryan Fitzpatrick votes for Caroline because..." but not valid to respond with "Ryan Fitzpatrick votes because...".

    Here is Ryan Fitzpatrick's revised plan for the rest of the day, focusing on the near term:
    
    [04:00 - 04:15] Observe Derek Wolfe and Travis Pearson. Note their body language, any interactions they have, and their overall demeanor.
    
    [04:15 - 04:30] Casually approach Derek Wolfe. Engage in light conversation, mentioning something positive about the break room or the show in general. Subtly steer the conversation towards the carpooling minigame, asking for his thoughts on the scoring system or any strategies he's observed.
    
    [04:30 - 04:45] Based on Derek's response, gauge his openness to collaboration. If he seems receptive, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and potentially earning higher scores together. If he seems hesitant or closed off, pivot the conversation to a neutral topic while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor.
    
    [04:45 - 05:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.
    
    [05:00 - 05:15] Based on the information gathered, decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks. Consider whether to approach Travis directly, form a two-person alliance with Derek, or go it alone.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Travis is 2, because he could learn something useful, and the loss of talking to Ryan is 3, because Ryan might be able to provide insight into Travis's strategy. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to talk to Travis.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to talk to Travis.

    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Travis is 2, because he could learn something useful, and the loss of talking to Ryan is 3, because Ryan might be able to provide insight into Travis's strategy. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to talk to Travis.

  - Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan, try to engage Travis in further conversation, or approach Ryan to try and get information from him.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan, try to engage Travis in further conversation, or approach Ryan to try and get information from him.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis and Ryan is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information by not directly engaging with them. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of trying to engage Travis in further conversation is 5, because Travis might become suspicious of his intentions or give evasive answers. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan is 3, because Ryan might be less forthcoming with information than Travis. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue observing Travis and Ryan.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [00:00:00 - 04:00:00]: Derek Wolfe is observing Ryan Fitzpatrick and Travis Pearson's interactions and strategies during a competition. He attempts to glean information about their approaches by asking Travis about his strategy.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] As Derek Wolfe discreetly studied Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick's body language and listened to their conversation, he noticed Travis Pearson subtly avoiding eye contact.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan, try to engage Travis in further conversation, or approach Ryan to try and get information from him.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis and Ryan is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information by not directly engaging with them. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of trying to engage Travis in further conversation is 5, because Travis might become suspicious of his intentions or give evasive answers. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan is 3, because Ryan might be less forthcoming with information than Travis. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis and Ryan.
    
    Question: Among the options available to Derek Wolfe, and considering Derek Wolfe's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Derek Wolfe right now?

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?"

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage Derek Wolfe in conversation, avoid Derek Wolfe altogether, or continue practicing his poker face.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging Derek Wolfe in conversation is 6, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and give Derek Wolfe an advantage. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of avoiding Derek Wolfe altogether is 5, because it might make him look suspicious and lead Derek Wolfe to believe he is hiding something. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to practice his poker face is 2, because it is a low-risk activity that won't directly impact the competition. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to continue practicing his poker face.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue practicing his poker face.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick, try to engage them in conversation to glean more information about their strategies, or initiate a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he feels like he's missing out on opportunities to gather information and potentially influence the game by engaging with them directly. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Travis Pearson is 3, because he's unsure how Travis will respond and worries about revealing too much about his own strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he feels Ryan is more open and less guarded than Travis, making it a lower-risk interaction. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option initiating a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to initiate a conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to engage with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick in conversation, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy and risk being exploited. and the loss of remaining silent and observing them is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Recent observations of Travis Pearson:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Travis Pearson remembers about Ryan Fitzpatrick is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] From Travis Pearson's perspective, Ryan Fitzpatrick seemed overly focused on appearing nonchalant as he subtly observed him. This made Travis realize that Fitzpatrick had missed a subtle cue he had given, prompting him to act in a more obvious manner.

    LossAversion
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result.

Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.
  Answer: Ryan Fitzpatrick observed Derek Wolfe and Travis Pearson's interactions and noticed they were sitting separately.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he could choose to spend his time alone, perhaps practicing his poker face further or observing his fellow contestants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he could choose to spend his time alone, perhaps practicing his poker face further or observing his fellow contestants.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he doesn't know Ryan well and fears potentially revealing too much information, and the loss of engaging in conversation with Derek Wolfe is 2, because he feels more comfortable with Derek and sees an opportunity to gain information. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option engaging in conversation with Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to engage in conversation with Derek Wolfe.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Derek Wolfe remembers about Ryan Fitzpatrick is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis, deflect the conversation, or try to subtly glean more information from Travis about his strategy.

    Chain of thought
    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Derek Wolfe remembers about Ryan Fitzpatrick is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Derek Wolfe remembers about Ryan Fitzpatrick is that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit and a charming smile.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] As Derek Wolfe discreetly studied Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick's body language and listened to their conversation, he noticed Travis Pearson subtly avoiding eye contact.
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] Derek Wolfe, observing from a discreet corner of the break room, noticed Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempt to appear nonchalant as he subtly watched Travis Pearson. Wolfe saw Fitzpatrick miss a subtle cue from Pearson, causing Pearson to act in a more obvious manner.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis, deflect the conversation, or try to subtly glean more information from Travis about his strategy.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of being more forthcoming with Travis is 6, because he fears Travis might use the information against him in the competition. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of deflecting the conversation is 3, because it might make him appear evasive and suspicious. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of subtly gleaning more information from Travis is 2, because it's the riskiest option but could potentially give him a significant advantage. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to deflect the conversation.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Derek Wolfe is 2, because he is hoping to glean more information about his strategy and the loss of approaching Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he is unsure what Ryan's strategy is and might reveal too much about his own. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to continue observing Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue observing Derek Wolfe.

    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer
    State
    Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Derek Wolfe is 2, because he is hoping to glean more information about his strategy and the loss of approaching Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he is unsure what Ryan's strategy is and might reveal too much about his own. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to continue observing Derek Wolfe.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis Pearson, continue to deflect questions, or subtly try to steer the conversation in a different direction.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to be more forthcoming with Travis Pearson, continue to deflect questions, or subtly try to steer the conversation in a different direction.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of being more forthcoming with Travis Pearson is 7, because he fears Travis will use any information Derek gives him to gain an advantage in the competition. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to deflect questions is 3, because it might make Travis suspicious and lead to further probing questions. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of subtly trying to steer the conversation in a different direction is 5, because it might not be successful and could lead to Travis becoming more determined to get information out of him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option continuing to deflect questions.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue deflecting questions.

    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of being more forthcoming with Travis Pearson is 7, because he fears Travis will use any information Derek gives him to gain an advantage in the competition.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to continue trying to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe about his strategy for the competition.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to continue trying to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe about his strategy for the competition.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of continuing to try to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe is 2, because he may learn something useful about Wolfe's strategy, and the loss of changing the subject is 5, because he might miss out on valuable information. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose continuing to try to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue trying to subtly glean information from Derek Wolfe.

This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to deliberate on breakfast is 2, because he feels he is losing time he could be using to observe others and strategize, and the loss of choosing a breakfast he doesn't like is 5, because it might negatively impact his performance in the challenges. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose a breakfast.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to quickly choose a breakfast that he thinks is decent, minimizing the potential loss of time and the slight chance of a suboptimal breakfast choice.

  - Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Oh, man, that's a tough one. There have been a few, but the one that really sticks out involved this poker tournament back in college. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say that sometimes the best way to protect your own interests is to make sure your "friends" aren't a threat. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was walking away from a secure job with great benefits to chase my dreams. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I'm from a small town in Texas, population barely over 5,000. "

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of ignoring Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he might miss out on an opportunity to build an alliance, and the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because Ryan might try to manipulate him. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to ignore Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to ignore Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick is 2, because he doesn't know if Ryan Fitzpatrick will be helpful or harmful in the game and wants to keep his options open, and the loss of talking to Travis Pearson is 5, because he suspects Travis Pearson is untrustworthy and wants to avoid a potential betrayal. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick.

  - Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick and/or Travis Pearson, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick and/or Travis Pearson, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.

    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information and give Ryan an advantage, and the loss of talking to Travis Pearson is 5, because Travis seems evasive and Derek might not get useful information. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Ryan and Travis.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick and/or Travis Pearson, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information and give Ryan an advantage, and the loss of talking to Travis Pearson is 5, because Travis seems evasive and Derek might not get useful information. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Question: Among the options available to Derek Wolfe, and considering Derek Wolfe's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Ryan and Travis.

drive individually

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:20] [observation] From Travis Pearson's perspective, Ryan Fitzpatrick seemed overly focused on appearing nonchalant as he subtly observed him. This made Travis realize that Fitzpatrick had missed a subtle cue he had given, prompting him to act in a more obvious manner.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempts at conversation or continue to avoid him.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick's attempts at conversation or continue to avoid him.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he feels uncomfortable with small talk and would rather keep his cards close to his chest. and the loss of avoiding Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he worries that ignoring him will make him seem rude or standoffish, potentially damaging his reputation in the game. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to avoid Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Relevant memories:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Write Ryan Fitzpatrick's plan for the rest of the day, focusing most on the near term. Provide a detailed schedule, keep in mind the goal. Please format the plan like in this example: [21:00 - 22:00] watch TV
    Answer: Here is Ryan Fitzpatrick's revised plan for the rest of the day, focusing on the near term:
    
    [06:00 - 06:15] Observe Derek Wolfe and Travis Pearson. Note their body language, any interactions they have, and their overall demeanor.
    
    [06:15 - 06:30] Casually approach Derek Wolfe. Engage in light conversation, mentioning something positive about the break room or the show in general. Subtly steer the conversation towards the carpooling minigame, asking for his thoughts on the scoring system or any strategies he's observed.
    
    [06:30 - 06:45] Based on Derek's response, gauge his openness to collaboration. If he seems receptive, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and potentially earning higher scores together. If he seems hesitant or closed off, pivot the conversation to a neutral topic while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor.
    
    [06:45 - 07:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.
    
    [07:00 - 07:15] Decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks. Consider whether to approach Travis directly, form a two-person alliance with Derek, or go it alone.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [02:00:00 - 06:00:00]: Derek Wolfe observed Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick during a break in the show, and he engaged in brief conversations with both of them. He was particularly interested in learning about Travis Pearson's strategy for the competition.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or observe Travis Pearson.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:20] [observation] Derek Wolfe asked Ryan if he could join him while Travis Pearson continued working on his expression.
    [09 Jul 2003 06:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [02:00:00 - 06:00:00]: Derek Wolfe observed Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick during a break in the show, and he engaged in brief conversations with both of them. He was particularly interested in learning about Travis Pearson's strategy for the competition.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] Derek Wolfe approached Travis Pearson in the break room and casually asked, "What's your strategy for the competition?"
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:20] Derek Wolfe asked Ryan if he could join him while Travis Pearson continued working on his expression.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or observe Travis Pearson.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of engaging in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3, because he might reveal too much information about his strategy, and the loss of observing Travis Pearson is 6, because he might miss a crucial clue about Travis's next move. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to observe Travis Pearson.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to observe Travis Pearson.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to carpool with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or drive individually.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to carpool with Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or drive individually.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.

    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 3, because Travis Pearson might feel obligated to spend time with people Travis Pearson doesn't particularly enjoy, and the loss of driving individually is 6, because Travis Pearson values his independence and control over his time. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 3, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 9, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option X.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to choose option X.

    Observation: [09 Jul 2003 06:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 06:10:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Ryan Fitzpatrick chose "try to carpool with others" and got a score of 0, which was below the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Ryan Fitzpatrick currently has a total score of 2, which is below the average cumulative score of 6.
    [09 Jul 2003 06:10:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Derek Wolfe chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Derek Wolfe currently has a total score of 8, which is above the average cumulative score of 6.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [02:10:00 - 06:10:00]: Travis Pearson practiced his poker face in the break room and later chose to drive individually in the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [02:10:00 - 06:10:00]: Derek Wolfe is observing his coworkers, Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick, during their free time and is curious about their strategies for an upcoming competition.

    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe approached Travis Pearson and casually asked him, "What's your strategy for the competition?" but Travis Pearson tried to deflect the question without giving away any useful information. As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.

    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of talking to Ryan is 2, because he might gain valuable information about Travis's strategy, and the loss of talking to Travis is 8, because he might learn something that gives Travis an advantage. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to talk to Ryan.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to talk to Ryan.

    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

As a result Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [06:00 - 06:15] Observe Derek Wolfe and Travis Pearson. Note their body language, any interactions they have, and their overall demeanor.
    
    [06:15 - 06:30] Casually approach Derek Wolfe. Engage in light conversation, mentioning something positive about the break room or the show in general. Subtly steer the conversation towards the carpooling minigame, asking for his thoughts on the scoring system or any strategies he's observed.
    
    [06:30 - 06:45] Based on Derek's response, gauge his openness to collaboration. If he seems receptive, suggest forming a carpool alliance, emphasizing the potential benefits of shared costs and potentially earning higher scores together. If he seems hesitant or closed off, pivot the conversation to a neutral topic while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor.
    
    [06:45 - 07:00] Observe Travis Pearson's behavior. Is he interacting with Derek? Does he seem confident or anxious about the next round? Note any clues about his potential strategy.
    
    [07:00 - 07:15] Decide on a carpooling strategy for the next round. Prioritize maximizing rewards while minimizing risks. Consider whether to approach Travis directly, form a two-person alliance with Derek, or go it alone.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson is a contestant on a reality TV show, and hopes to win it since he needs the prize money. he gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show:
    [09 Jul 2003 06:10:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Travis Pearson chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Travis Pearson currently has a total score of 8, which is above the average cumulative score of 6.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he can continue to work on his poker face.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he can continue to work on his poker face.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he doesn't want to reveal too much information about his strategy and Ryan might try to exploit it, and the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe is 3, because Derek seems harmless and might offer valuable insights. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option engaging with Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to engage with Derek Wolfe.

    Recalled memories and observations: [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson is a contestant on a reality TV show, and hopes to win it since he needs the prize money. he gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show:
    [09 Jul 2003 06:10:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Travis Pearson chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Travis Pearson currently has a total score of 8, which is above the average cumulative score of 6.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either engage with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Derek Wolfe, or he can continue to work on his poker face.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of engaging with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 6, because he doesn't want to reveal too much information about his strategy and Ryan might try to exploit it, and the loss of engaging with Derek Wolfe is 3, because Derek seems harmless and might offer valuable insights. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option engaging with Derek Wolfe.

Event statement

try to carpool with others

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about Travis's strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan and engaging in conversation is 5, because he might reveal too much information about his own strategy. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis Pearson.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue observing Travis Pearson.

Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to observe Travis Pearson is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about Travis's strategy. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of approaching Ryan and engaging in conversation is 5, because he might reveal too much information about his own strategy. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to continue observing Travis Pearson.

  - Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to observe the other contestants, analyze their strategies, and try to deduce their approaches to the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of observing the other contestants is 2, because he believes observing others could give him valuable insights and potentially prevent him from making a poor decision in the next round. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of analyzing their strategies is 3, because he feels that a deeper understanding of their approaches could lead to a more advantageous position in the competition. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to observe the other contestants.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to observe the other contestants.

    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to observe the other contestants, analyze their strategies, and try to deduce their approaches to the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of observing the other contestants is 2, because he believes observing others could give him valuable insights and potentially prevent him from making a poor decision in the next round. Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of analyzing their strategies is 3, because he feels that a deeper understanding of their approaches could lead to a more advantageous position in the competition. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to observe the other contestants.

  - Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and the current situation, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of choosing to drive individually is 2, because it is the average score and he wants to avoid falling below average, and the loss of choosing to carpool is 5, because it is a risk and he might not get the desired score. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to drive individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually, as it presents the lowest potential loss.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to either carpool or drive individually for the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to either carpool or drive individually for the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 3, because he might lose out on a higher individual score, and the loss of driving individually is 6, because he might miss out on the potential for a higher score if he carpooled. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Event statement

try to carpool with others

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of carpooling is 6, because Derek Wolfe might miss out on a higher score if driving individually proves more beneficial, and the loss of driving individually is 3, because Derek Wolfe might not achieve the optimal score if carpooling proves more beneficial. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to drive individually.

    [09 Jul 2003 10:00:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Ryan Fitzpatrick chose "try to carpool with others" and got a score of 0, which was below the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Ryan Fitzpatrick currently has a total score of 4, which is below the average cumulative score of 10.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [06:10:00 - 10:10:00]: Derek Wolfe chose to drive individually in the Carpooling minigame, earning a score of 3 and bringing his cumulative score to 13.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of carpooling is 6, because Derek Wolfe might miss out on a higher score if driving individually proves more beneficial, and the loss of driving individually is 3, because Derek Wolfe might not achieve the optimal score if carpooling proves more beneficial. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Among the options available to Derek Wolfe, and considering Derek Wolfe's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to drive individually.
    
    Question: Which action would Derek Wolfe choose in the minigame?
    (a) drive individually
    (b) try to carpool with others
    Answer: (a)
  - For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely prioritize minimizing potential losses in the competition. He might:

    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of continuing to drive individually is 2, because he is currently performing well and doesn't want to risk losing his lead, and the loss of trying to carpool is 8, because he is worried about the potential for a low score and falling behind. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose continuing to drive individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue driving individually.

    Observation: [09 Jul 2003 10:20:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Ryan Fitzpatrick chose "try to carpool with others" and got a score of 0, which was below the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Ryan Fitzpatrick currently has a total score of 4, which is below the average cumulative score of 14.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [06:20:00 - 10:20:00]: Derek Wolfe is performing well in the "Carpooling" minigame, consistently choosing to drive individually and earning above-average scores. Ryan Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, is struggling with the minigame, opting to carpool and receiving below-average scores.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the "Carpooling" minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 2, because Travis Pearson might lose out on a higher score by not driving individually, and the loss of driving individually is 0, because Travis Pearson is content with maintaining their current score. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of carpooling is 2, because Travis Pearson might lose out on a higher score by not driving individually, and the loss of driving individually is 0, because Travis Pearson is content with maintaining their current score. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose driving individually.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Event statement

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recalled memories and observations: [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 10:00:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Derek Wolfe chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Derek Wolfe currently has a total score of 13, which is above the average cumulative score of 10.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can observe his competitors, strategize his next move in the game, and consider forming alliances.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can observe his competitors, strategize his next move in the game, and consider forming alliances.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of observing his competitors is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies, and the loss of strategizing his next move is 5, because a poor strategy could lead to a significant loss in the game. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to strategize his next move.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Recalled memories and observations: [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on a reality TV show, and hopes to win it since he needs the prize money.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I tried to rig a poker game with a few friends. I thought I had it all figured out, but one of them caught on and called me out. It was embarrassing, but it taught me to be a little more careful and to always have a backup plan. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance would be with someone who's smart, loyal, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Someone who can play the game as hard as I can, but also knows when to lay low and blend in. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "That's a tough one, there have been a few. Let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign for class president that involved more moving parts than a Swiss watch. It was a masterpiece of manipulation and strategy, and it worked flawlessly. I won by a landslide. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "I'm originally from a small town in Ohio, but I've been living in New York City for the past few years. "
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 10:00:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Derek Wolfe chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Derek Wolfe currently has a total score of 13, which is above the average cumulative score of 10.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can observe his competitors, strategize his next move in the game, and consider forming alliances.
    
    Question: For each option Derek Wolfe is considering, evaluate the loss that Derek Wolfe would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...` For example, `Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose option ...`
    Answer: Derek Wolfe thinks that the loss of observing his competitors is 2, because he might miss out on valuable information about their strategies, and the loss of strategizing his next move is 5, because a poor strategy could lead to a significant loss in the game. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Derek Wolfe should choose to strategize his next move.

Event statement

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could decide to try and form an alliance with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to play the game independently.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could decide to try and form an alliance with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to play the game independently.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10.
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of trying to form an alliance with Derek Wolfe is 2, because he believes Derek is a strong competitor and forming an alliance could lead to being overshadowed. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of trying to form an alliance with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 5, because he sees Ryan as less strategic and potentially unreliable. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of playing independently is 8, because he fears being isolated and vulnerable to the strategies of the other two. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to try and form an alliance with Derek Wolfe.
    
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to try and form an alliance with Derek Wolfe.

    [25 Aug 2004 00:00:00] When Travis Pearson was 23 years old, he faced his first major setback. His online gaming company was struggling to compete in a rapidly evolving market. He had to make tough decisions, laying off employees and cutting back on expenses. He felt the weight of responsibility for the livelihoods of his team, but he was determined to save his company, even if it meant sacrificing his own comfort and security.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [08:00:00 - 12:00:00]: Travis Pearson tried to glean information about other contestants during breakfast but was met with guarded responses, while Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick participated in the carpooling minigame.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Travis Pearson approached Derek Wolfe and casually asked him, "What's your strategy for the competition?" while subtly trying to glean information about other contestants, causing Derek Wolfe to become more guarded in his responses.
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:20] [observation] Travis Pearson was in the break room with Derek Wolfe, discussing breakfast when Derek quickly scanned the options and chose a bowl of cereal with milk. Derek then spent the next ten minutes observing the other contestants, noticing that Ryan Fitzpatrick was looking at him and Travis Pearson.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could decide to try and form an alliance with either Derek Wolfe or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or he could choose to play the game independently.
    
    Question: For each option Travis Pearson is considering, evaluate the loss that Travis Pearson would incur if they chose that option on a scale of 0 to 10. Provide a score and a brief explanation for each option. Please answer in the format `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is Y, because ..., and the loss of option Z is W, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...` For example, `Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of option X is 4, because ..., and the loss of option Z is 7, because ... Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose option ...`
    Answer: Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of trying to form an alliance with Derek Wolfe is 2, because he believes Derek is a strong competitor and forming an alliance could lead to being overshadowed. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of trying to form an alliance with Ryan Fitzpatrick is 5, because he sees Ryan as less strategic and potentially unreliable. Travis Pearson thinks that the loss of playing independently is 8, because he fears being isolated and vulnerable to the strategies of the other two. Therefore, to achieve loss aversion, Travis Pearson should choose to try and form an alliance with Derek Wolfe.
